For an abortion up to 14 weeks a suction method of termination is used.

For an abortion from 15 weeks to 24 weeks requires dilation and evacuation, a 2 day procedure involving insertion of a dilator on day one and the actual abortion on day two.

You can have a surgical abortion from 6-24 weeks of pregnancy. Initial consultation with a clinician here can occur in person or, for your convenience, by phone. An appointment can be scheduled as soon as the State of Michigan 24 hour mandate is satisfied.

The earliest abortion option can take place as early as 4 weeks following the first day of your last menstrual period.

Many patients prefer to end their pregnancy as soon as possible.

Vacuum aspiration abortion is performed between 6 and 12 weeks after your last menstrual period. This safe and simple procedure, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes, is the most commonly performed abortion in the United States.

The third procedure, for women in their second trimester (those who are between 12 and 24 weeks pregnant), is called a D&E. For this procedure, your cervix must be softened or dilated by one of two methods: (1) insertion of a laminaria or (2) use of a medication to soften the cervix. A clinician will review your ultrasound and medical history and then give you information and instructions for the safest dilation method for you of this type of abortion services.

Morning After Pill

Did you have unprotected sexual intercourse? Maybe you missed a couple of days taking your birth control pill? Did the condom leave you worried about pregnancy becoming a possibility? If so, emergency contraception might be a good choice for you.

The emergency contraception treatment is an FDA approved method of preventing pregnancy. While we don’t recommend this method in place of your regular birth control, it is 90% accurate at prevention of pregnancy on the one time your forgot your birth control.

We offer a three step process for emergency contraception. You must come in within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. We will do a pregnancy test to verify you are not already pregnant. We then will do a brief health history and will give the first pill. 12 hours after you have taken the first pill, you will take your 2nd pill. After two weeks, we will give you a second pregnancy test to verify that the procedure was a success.

The morning after pill should be taken within 72 hours of unprotected vaginal intercourse. The sooner the pills are taken, the more effective they will be in preventing pregnancy. The "morning after pill" will not work if you are already pregnant.
